I like the modern thick round color-circle G letter. If it was 2010 I would think it's some photo-film or paint company but not it's easy to recognize. However the rest of the title looks a little bit plain. And honestly it's quite a stupid logo in all iterations. Like that 'g' from 2013, wtf is that, a map with a white road on it? What works well is their vibrant recognizable color palette. not a designer
Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
>>454718I like em for drawing
i just gold my first gold nib montblanc used for under $50 shipped. you too can do so if you look for used pens in japanese domestic marketplace. yahoo japan, mercari japan and use a proxy shipping service like sendico. my thirdworld ass got a hold of 70s montblanc 320p this way. if you want to get gold nibs this is the cheapest way i know. the same listings in these places are reposted on ebay with higher prices, why not go straight to the source? gold mine for japanese pens 70s-90s and montblanc too surprisingly. my theory is they hoarded a lot of luxury before 90s japan crash.
>>462737I'm left-handed, how boned am I if I want to try fountain pen? Is there at least any ink that dries fast enough to not smudge as I write?
i just updated my muji set. inks getting harder to find tho. no cartridges i buy from elsewhere seems to work.
>>459949I wish there was a stationery general somewhere, the subject just doesn't seem to fit definitively into any single board. Although with how people that are really into stationery collecting treat it, maybe it's secretly a /toy/ subject.
This is the board to talk about Heraldry, right?(Pic rel.) is peak heraldic design, prove me wrong
>>464641wtfyou think putting a hat on it makes it fancy?
>>464644Yes
>>464645fine. do the comedy face one so we have the pair.
>>464633What's good Heraldry design?I want to design a coat for me as a person and perhaps one for my family.Even on that, I don't know the rules, for example, should they be the same? Should they converge? Be totally different? One use the other?I know there are color rules too.
>>464633If today's generation would design their own heraldry it would all be simple shapes, nothing complex, just like modern flag design. It's ugly and boring and it lacks depth.
What is the next big aesthetic wave after Flat Design going to be? How much longer will Flat Design last?
>>456970the next aesthetic is going to be a frutiger aero + flat design like liquid glass, everything apple does is copied by everyone
>>462026>we globally prefer lying to ourselves by willfully accepting to call monopolistic datacenter-gigacorporations-with-insight-into-every-persons-character-and-life by their self-given names à la "social media" and "recommendation system" in exchange for them making us feel connected to the increasingly faceless system of symbols that is contemporary internet.wtf seems spot on
>>464546It's just the flat and rounded design we have now, but with translucency and transparency applied.
I'm just gonna leave this here
>>464798This is what I was hoping the next Tron was going to look like after Legacy.
https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-images-2-5/Yeah.... Graphic designers are even more sadly even more deep down in the hole
>>464801Who is still doing graphic design in 2026? Especially without having done a deep dive on AI use?>>464805It's been dead for at least a decade and was probably always a meme career. No one except women stay in the field more than a few years without graduating to something better paying, more interesting, and more gratifying.
>>464807somehow I still have a job doing graphic design, it's moreso designs for signage than anything else. However I am sure I will be fired / laid off in the near future, I am praying to win the powerball before that happens.
Yep I barely do it anymore, thank fuck it wasn't my main income.At this point its just a good skill to know that I can utilize.As for Ai in general at least Chat GPT is attempting to make its self user friendly. Google ai is getting reports that it's arguing with users, probably salty H1B programmers that got pissy they had to put in some kind of rebuttable output.Why the hell some basic bitch "ai" is arguing with people rather than saying something like "sorry I can't do that" is crazy.Long term unless your say a print shop graphic design is kind of dead a bit like guys who used to carve horse and cart wheels sure there was some demand for a while but eventually there really wasn't.
>>464831Yep most of what I do in that industry its because people know I'm reliable and unlike ai or some random in India I'll actually fix the problem rather than trying to nickle and dime them or ignore them.
>>464805CS+GD+Vibecoding mega pro gamer 7000 can still be very good. The AI still produces slop, way too noticable.
First pic is the logoI'm redesigning my site and want to go in the direction of a Frutiger Aero/Skeuomorphism vibe, where, the site currently looks like this: eccomuse.comWhat do you think of the logo, the sidebar that holds the logo and the slide bar? How can i improve it?What do you think about the Frutiger metro infographic i made? How can i improve it, if possible, a friend said the color takes away from the background, but i dont think thats a bad thing
and finally this is the infographic in a frutiger metro style
>>464444epic quads are epic.Maybe change the font, its either the typeface or the drop shadow throwing it off imo
>>464443The placement of the music note should be more in the center of the circle shape formed by the colored lines. The lighting and reflections on the colored lines should match the lighting of the purple circle under them. Logo in the 3rd image can work with that background if it's made smaller but overall I agree with your friend, that background and logo would work better together if the logo was chrome or had a matching palette. The metro infographic combines too many colors and shouldn't use any gradients. you should avoid gradient shading or any kind of shading and limit yourself to a smaller color palette for frutiger metro stuff
The note, ring of bars, and circle all need to be aligned to the same center. Right now they disagree and it's jarring.The varied lengths of the colored bars in a ring might blend better into the background disc if the background disk had consistent-length insets for each of the bars to sit in. So a ring of 20 recessed bars of equal length that match the disc color, acting as 'grooves' that the colored bars sit in. This suggests the bars are forming some kind of equalizer set to different levels.I'd actually try doing 24 recessed bars, and the four at the cardinal positions are empty.
>>464443Bro, it's an interesting idea and thank god somebody is doing something different, but this looks vibecoded slop almost at it's finest. It is non-responsive too. There are many things to fix. I won't tell you directly because I believe it's important that you learn it by yourself!Regarding the design itself though, it looks skeuomorphic but of the low quality type you saw back in the day. Perhaps that's your intention though.
Lost your job to AI yet?
>>464658No, apparently AI was just hype.
>>464658Yes
>>464658Instead of making a new ad in 4 hours I have to remake what a client promted for 6 hours, then they send a new promt for revisions.
>>464678they'll have AI stormtroopers to bash the head in of any daring criminal.
I'm an indie mobile apps developer and I still can't generate a good app or promo design with AI. I mostly do design manually or with high amount of steering. I wish I had a tool that would generate a whole app: all the screens, allowing me to adjust the details, but there's no such one or I'm not good at using them.Would be happy to team up with a designer. Would also hire one if I had money, even if they would simply be good prompt engineers. Would even perhaps even marry one :3I once hired a designer for a game, she started to give me gameplay advises. Paid for the mockups and broke up.

It is popular opinion that the guitar in the middle is uglier than the other two. Other than the birds on the fretboard, how would you fix it?
>>464702Les Pauls are heavy as fuck. Necks are THICC and veiny (not my thing). Never held one with action under 3 feet from the fret board.
>>464702If you think a Fender or a Gibson is better looking than a Paul Reed Smith, your double digit IQ is failing you sense of taste and class.
>>464702PRS is an improved Les Paul.However, I’d just replace the birds with pearl dots and maybe replace the 6-screw trem with a 2-point fulcrum trem
>>464702its comicly honey drop shapedrock isnt comedically shaped
paul already solved thisand it's just prs doing a gibson faded
concerns?
i have no idea what i'm looking at. i like it.
>>464412idk? anything that is not just buzz words?
>>462887But.. anon...Consider that making BAD art is necessary to learn what is good art.I'm not a designer, but by making a lot of shit-tier designs I can now do acceptable level things (mostly TTRPG custom character shit) for my hobby.But in order to raise my head above the water, I trodded over shit for a long time. I made lot of shit, I learned.The tragedy is looking at your horrible creation and thinking it's good enough. If you grow some GD-sense, being able to judge yourself and learn is really useful, even when the outcome is shit. You gotta learn.
>>464731nobody said they shouldn't learn.anon asked for criticism on their piece and they received it.
Lots going on, not a bad thing. Magazine cover or something?Main concern is the text across the middle is basically unreadable. Easy to fix, it just needs increased thickness on the parts that form the letters compared to the accents and flourishes that they share the form with.Minor concerns: The two pixelated branch/leaf shapes share the exact fill and outline with the background strip at center which they cross into. That doesn't work, for me, visually. Looks awkward.
Have been trying to make assets and screen/window design/layout for this app for hours, but they all come out awful.What am I doing wrong????The app in question:https://apps.repebble.com/abd6da93b862465d836185e6
>>464082anon you have to remember that gd is abt functionality. there's nothing wrong with this layout, it's readable, it doesn't feel crowded and it has pretty good composition
IDK what the capabilities of a pebble actually so if what I say next isn't actually possible then lol idk.Solid white background with solid black characters is just ugly and hard on the eyes. Take the background down to a shade of grey, ideally place lighter grey and color text onto a darker grey background. That alone will make it a lot more pleasant to look at.Next up is text consistency. Headings in bold, sure, but make 'Drink' and 'Gut' match 'Blood cafffeine' in style at least.The bottom two bars being bolded as well might be OK once the headings are, too. But right now it's unbalanced.
>>464848Very good advice. This anon knows psychology
>>464830the composition is shit>>464082op you have no taste and shouldnt be near design at all yet
>>464848>Solid white background with solid black characters is just ugly and hard on the eyesit looks like the app is made for the pebble time which has a e-ink/e-paper displaythese displays already have low contrast so lowering it even more will be overkill.
I love the new gta 6 mini map, is more realistic and soft and modern, what y'all think
I absolutely loathe it and I'm still 100% convinced it's not real, like there is not way the HUD of the extended look is the final one.
>>464796judging by everything else I'd keep my hopes down if you're actually interested in this game
I'm gunna stick with gta 5 thanks
I draw through Ibis Paint X on my mobile device using my fingers. My pieces are still very inconsistent since the basic fundamentals of drawing haven't been completely mastered. I have a particular difficulty structuring an efficient study routine to improve my skills. Boxes and varied shapes in perspective are a fundamental step to simplify and build the foundation of characters and sceneries. Nonetheless, I don't know the best way to understand the totality of three-dimensional forms.
>>464171>>464169>>464092 this book has some very nice drawing examples in it
>>464169Vary your line width to emphasize near objects with thicker lines and do the same for shadows
>>464169Your problem is perspective. Lighting is a subject of perspective and you fail at it because you don't master the former.Read this. https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/tech10.htmlBut it's possible you won't have the discipline to read through all that and master perspective either. The next step is to learn anatomy, notice what shapes give anatomic parts their 3d relief, relate them to one another and practice the conclusion. For this you must draw from life, and be very critical about it. You don't need a structured routine, you need to keep at it for months, because your neurons grow during sleep and as long as you train your eye and your hand, the neurons will refine your judgement.
>>464169Your art for the most part (given you're drawing with a fucking finger like a heathen) is fine, just some perspective / anatomy issues, just copy and paste the eye on HIS left, drag it lower and instead of making the one eye bigger, have his right eye squint to accentuate the wide eye, the eyes are also not quite perfect but i can't do more without a full redraw of them and I'm not doing that so you get cut and paste, one thing you should make a habit from now on is ALWAYS flipping your canvas, as we draw are stuff, it just looks normal, the shock from flipping it sets off the uncanny valley effect and lets us easily see what the issue is. Now if you want to improve, I know it's a fault of using your FUCKING FINGER, but you really gotta clean that line art up, Line art isn't JUST about being clean, it's about accurately depicting something with intention, alot of artist have trouble moving past this stage because their art gets ugly with out the mess obscuring the mistakes and allowing the viewer to fill in the gaps. Here's an example, his left hand, It looks like you painted in just the FAINTEST thumb poking out from it, but I can't tell if that's intentional or a product of your messy coloring, also in my example that one tiny TINY line I corrected infinity makes the hand better, but you only learn about these tiny corrections if you draw with intention, you need to study a hand for that, for the most part i presume you've got most of your skill from copying other artists, THAT'S GOOD! No need to recreate the wheel, but you do gotta understand the wheel, so some anatomy study would do wonders for you. You have raw talent, but that will only take you so far, you need to refine it.
>>464169Using pencil or pen on tablet mate. Buy a cheap one, like XP Pen, or just pen and pencil.Look up Famous Artists cartoon course book, download and study it. Internet Archive no longer have it. Shame.Remember to keep drawing and draw what you want.
